Rice Boiler
Pick and wash the rice.
Bring the water to the boil and add salt. Rain the rice and stir until

according to the type of rice), cover with a lid, turn off the heat and
allow to cook in its own heat for about 20 minutes.
When cooked turn out into a serving dish and fluff up with a fork.

Rice Steamer
Pick and wash the rice.
Put a maximum of 12 lbs of rice into each steamer tray, cover with water
and add salt. Apply heat to reach steaming point and cook for about 20
minutes.
